6 Ghanaian artists that can definitely shake up the Grammy stage

Despite not winning any awards, the artist, the sole African artist featured in this year’s line-up, rendered a mash-up of three songs taken from his new album "I Told Them".

Burna Boy’s performance was introduced by South African comedian and former "The Daily Show" host Trevor Noah. He was also accompanied by instrumentalists and dancers attired in indigenous African clothing and ornaments.
